Synopsis

Flora Thompson was born in 1876 at Juniper Hill on the Oxfordshire/Northamptonshire border. She is best known as the author of Lark Rise to Candleford, that classic and evocative observation of her rural childhood which has been a best-seller since its publication in 1945. That story ends with her leaving her native Oxfordshire in 1897 for pastures new. In Heatherley she picks up the story again when she takes her first permanent post in Grayshott, a village on the Hampshire/Surrey border. Here she describes her surprise at entering a different world - a new settlement placed amid wild heather-clad hilltops compared with the old-established village set in the heavy, flat, agricultural landscape of her childhood.

Like a slightly disappointing ‘season 2’ to your favourite show. Sadly it lacked the warmth and engagement in lark rise to candleford. Less interesting, less engaging, long rambling sentences at times. I only read to the end because I was invested in ‘Laura’ and interested in her story, but it’s was......more

Goodreads review by Realini on December 18, 2025

Lark Rise to Candleford by Flora Thompson 10 out of 10 What a joy this magnifique book is to read, especially coming in the footsteps of the cryptic, dystopian, bizarre, otherworldly, outré The Crying of Lot 49 by the recluse, acclaimed Thomas Pynchon - [URL not allowed] - and c......more
